Sassy Minerals Haulage :)

So my mom actually asked me about them the other day, and I told her I'd order her a couple to try BEFORE ordering her a crapton for mother's day (why waste money if she doesn't like them? although, i REALLY don't see how that's possible -- haha)

So rather than just order 2 (who orders 2 i ask you?) I ordered like, 13 hahahaha

 
Sultry:  Dark neutral cocoa
I got Sultry for my mom to try :)  she likes brown haha.
  
Crown Jewels: Smoky grey with flashes of green, gold, and blue
  
Lyrical: Deep smoky green with intense green and aqua sparkle
  
Taboo: Electric Teal
  
Deviant: Light golden beige with sandy pink tones

Distracted: Muted salmon with gold highlights
  
Obsessed: Grey green with teal tones
  
Fierce: Smoky grey with red and blue sparkles
  
Liaison: Buttery gold with peach undertones

SLEEK Storm Palette

I'm running out the door for work, so I can't go super in depth, but I just have to say, that I ADORE THE SLEEK PALETTES and shame on the UK for holding it hostage :)

They're FANTASTIC for a drugstore brand!

 

  

  

  

Like, for real.  All I used was UDPP and Rubenesque paint pot (my standard "prep your eyes" routine)...we'll see how long it lasts, but it's FREAKING GORGEOUS!
I used the Sleek STORM palette, Dipdown fluidline, and Rimmel Sexy Curves
Lips were MAC Syrup l/s and Pleasure Principle dazzleglass

And sometimes, foundation is god.

It's funny how just adding foundation can make everything look better. LOL!  (and yes, I know it does, but sometimes I just don't want it all on my face when all I'm doing is going to work at the grocery store)

This is a look using mostly Sassy Minerals :)

The Fourth Kingdom!

Ahhh, the Fourth Kingdom.  This is the Kingdom where most of the story takes place.  It is the late Snow White's kingdom, now ruled by her grandson Prince Wendell.  It's in the dead center of the land, and therefore is a very strategic location that anyone would want to have.

It's color is green, and I chose to do one of my favorite green looks (it's so bright!).  Unfortunately, my camera (and apparently my face) weren't cooperating so here's the ONLY two pictures that even semi-turned out ok.

Photos: Sassy Minerals

My small collection of Sassy Minerals just grew today and at the request of my friend Mallory I'm putting these photos up of the colors I have.  Swatches will appear on the blog sometime soon :)

Descriptions are copied from the website (www.sassyminerals.com) and I've recieved 4 of the samples as extras (aka, I didn't pay for 4 of them)  The ones marked with an asterisk (*) are the ones I did not pay for. All the others I did.

Rock On* is a smoky coppery taupe


Always Right is a periwinkle with flashing green sparkles

Immortal is a creamy yellow


Carry On is a sage green with a bright green shimmer


Zealous* is a blusher and is an apricot with gold shimmer


Gasoline Rainbow is a smooth black with intense rainbow sparkle


Tattletale is a smoky purple with purple sparkle


Intimate is a coral lustre


Disturbing the Peace is a deep caribbean blue


Jinx is a heathered grey with aqua shimmer


Don't Blink is an ocean blue with green sparkles


Sexy Nerd is a multifaceted antique gold with subtle flashes of blue, green and gold (and also my favorite named color!)



Girls Night Out* is a sapphire blue with a subtle lavender shimmer


Flash of Brilliance is a smooth black with intense sparkling flashes of gold, aqua, and silver

 
Ruby Slippers is a ruby red with loads of pink and ruby sparkle

Emblazon is a bold coral


Logical Choice is a soft beige with peach tones


Hang Out* is a taupe with subtle mauve tones


And if you're wondering about the different types you may be seeing on the labels...Here's a mini guide:

Eye Candy Shimmers have a more intense degree of shimmer and sparkle

Eye Candy Silk Lustres have less shimmer and are super smooth.  I've also never had a problem with chalkiness either (which is amazing!)

Eye Candy Liners are meant to be mixed with some kind of medium (water or a mixing medium, such as MAC's) to make a liquid liner...I find they look gorgeous as a lid color too!

The Third Kingdom

The Third Kingdom is quite the depressing place, ruled by trolls and gnomes, covered in beanstalks, and yet, it's color is YELLOW!?

An all yellow look is hard to pull off without looking jaundiced so I hope you'll forgive the tiniest peek of orange in the look just to define it and keep me from looking like I belong in the ICU ;)

Youtuber Inspired! Vintageortacky

So Cora (aka Vintageortacky on youtube) had done an Ed Hardy/Lisa Frank inspired look a little while ago, and that got me to remembering how much *I* loved Lisa Frank as a kid.  So I did a semi-rainbow style look with the Lisa Frank colors, which now remind me of Cora (hence inspired by her).  THANKS CORA!! :)
